It has been quite an opening month for the largest saltwater fishing tournament in Louisiana. On Saturday, a third registered angler caught a tagged redfish, one of 50 released across the state, winning him a new 2110 Sport Nautic Star, Mercury 150-horsepower four-stroke and Mike Gerald's Trailer Depot trailer package.

Thomas Carl Vidrine of Baton Rouge reeled in the red while fishing the jetties in Caminada Pass near Bridge Side Marina in Grand Isle during the Catholic High Rodeo.

The first tagged redfish of this year's tournament was caught opening weekend in Fourchon by Baton Rouge's Kenneth Guidry who donated the truck back to CCA Louisiana in hopes that someone else would win the coveted prize.

Hieu Doan of New Orleans caught the second fish winning the Chevy Silverado in Chef Pass near Lake Ponchartrain.

"Earlier in the day, I lost a rod overboard and actually found it while I continued to fish, then I caught the redfish," he said. "It was just my lucky day."

There are 47 tagged redfish still swimming across the state with eight 2110 Sport Nautic Star boat packages still up for grabs.

In addition to all of the prizes for tagged redfish and the heaviest-fish categories, registered anglers can still win another Chevy Silverado by catching a state-record speckled trout during the tournament.

One other note on STAR; the red-snapper division will close with the federal season on Friday. The winner will be announced early next week.
